Default Can I keep my Audi in my garage for 20 days?

Hi,

I have 2014 Audi A4, 2.0 and I will be on a vacation for 20 days and hence won't be driving my car for 20 days. I have garage in my house where I keep my Audi and since this is the first time I won't be driving my Audi for 20 days, I am wondering is I should take any measures before leaving my car in my garage for 20 days? I hope there won't be any problem on the 21st day because of car sitting idle for 20 days.

Please advise.

Thanks

I wouldn't think there would be any issues. Make sure you don't leave anything plugged in that will drain power from the battery (GPS, radar detector, etc...). I left mine sitting for about 13 days once with no issues.

Yup you should be fine. If you want to be proactive, park it with a full tank and add a can of Seafoam to the gas.

Thanks. I will park it with a full tank. By the way what is a can of seafoam to the gas and why it is recommended?

Seafoam is an engine/fuel additive. You can get it at any auto parts store (my Walmart also carries it). STP also makes a smilar product. I run a can through my car every few months.
